Supporting Bath - new rugby shirt helps local charities

January 16th 2012

Bath sports shop JMS Rugby has created a new rugby shirt to help two local charitable organisations. It’s In The Bag, a charity set up in 2009 to raise awareness of and support those men with Testicular Cancer throughout the whole of the South West, and Winsley’s Dorothy House are benefiting from sales of the ‘Supporting Bath’ rugby shirt. This shirt has blue, black and white hoops with the logos of It’s In The Bag and Dorothy House on each arm.

“At JMS rugby we sell a number of rugby shirts where some of the proceeds go to various charities,” said manager Simon O’Connor. “I wanted to design and sell a rugby shirt that would appeal to local rugby fans and at the same time donate some of profits to a couple of worthwhile local charities. It's In The Bag and Dorothy House were obvious choices as I work closely with Mike Morgan (one of IITB's founding members) and grew up living opposite Dorothy House. We have worked with Brand-Co Management who have supplied us with the shirts that come in sizes 6 months to 3XL.”

The shirts are available from JMS Rugby in the High Street or on their website at www.jmsrugby.co.uk.
